Community Outreach

Clerks for a Cause

The Clerk & Comptroller’s office has a proud tradition of supporting nonprofit organizations throughout Palm Beach County, whether through charitable donations or volunteer time.

Dress Down Fridays

The Clerk & Comptroller's Dress Down Friday charity program began in
1994. In return for wearing casual attire to work each Friday,
employees have the option of donating $2 a week from their paycheck. The
contributions are donated to nonprofit organizations selected by the
employees. Since its inception, the program has donated more than
$840,000 to local charities.

Nonprofit organizations must be nominated by a Clerk & Comptroller employee to be considered for the Dress Down Friday program. Employees nominate and vote on charities each year.

To be eligible, organizations must:

be nominated by a Clerk & Comptroller employee

be registered as 501(c)3 or have a 990 form

be independently rated

serve Palm Beach County residents

Other Clerks for a Cause Programs
